10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: learned about you recently and I follow your Facebook page

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: and I've been seeing the videos, and I get really

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: excited and fired up when I hear you speak. So

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: thank you for all you're doing, not just for the

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: party but the country. Well, thank you for having me here.

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: We appreciate all those all those kind words. We certainly do.

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Thank you absolutely. Before we get into politics and the

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: issues of the day, I want to talk to you

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: about your upbringing. I know you face adversity with an

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: abusive father and you found yourself in foster care. Tell

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: us what life was like growing up, Where were you raised,

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: how did you overcome a rough childhood? Well? Uh, born

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina. Uh, my childhood when

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: I looked back on my childhood, I had a happy childhood.

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: But it was right with all those things. My father

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: was never abusive towards me or my siblings, but he

26
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: was very abusive towards my mother. Uh. They had a

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: very contentious, very violent relationship. He was an alcoholic. Uh.

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: And he died when I was around twelve. When well,

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: when I was twelve, I was in the fifth grade

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: when he died my mom. That left my mom with

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: five children in total. All of us were in school

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: range from twelfth grade the first grade. UM, and so uh.

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, she had a choice. She could either go

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: to work or or or go to the go towards welfare.

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: She chose to work. She was a custodian. She did

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: that for a number, for gosh, for almost thirty years.

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: She was a coustodian. And that's how she took care

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: of us. And I saw her have her priorities in

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: order and do things on that custodian salary that the

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: people would say was impossible, but she did it. And

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: that taught me a great deal about what it takes

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: to make it in life. What it takes to make

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: it in life, It's for you to go out and

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: earn your living and four your destiny. And that's what

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: my mom did, and that's the example from shows. She

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: also had a very strong faith in God, which I

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, I sustained her as well, so uh the

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: primary source for strength as a matter of fact. So

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: uh that was that was what my offbering was like

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: like and that's what I learned. And this is uh

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: as like I said, it's what helped leave me to

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: where I am right now. Wow. And the faith in God,

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I think is the critical point. And I've seen you

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: talk about that and viral clip after viral clip about

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: how how how you believe and why you believe and

56
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: why you believe this is the best country in an

57
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: entire world and how God Jesus Is really had his

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: hands on America. Can you expound on that please? Well,

59
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: you know people people don't like to admit it. You

60
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: know a lot of people that don't like to admit

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: the fact that the reason why uh, this country is

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: has been blessed because people pray for God to bless

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: this nation. We say it in our songs, you know,

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: we say it in our in our founding documents. We

65
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: we say that every everywhere, everywhere you turn around. We

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: always give God credit for for what he's done and

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: what he can do and what he will do. And

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: I think because of that, he hears it and he blessed.

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: And of course we're not perfect people. We're not perfect people.

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: We're not a perfect nation. We never have been, and

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: we don't claim to be. But we ultimately we know

72
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: who we is we have to answer to, and we

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: know who it is that oh that we owe the

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: credit to, and that's who, that's who we give that

75
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: credit to. And as far as it's being the greatest

76
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: nation on earth, you know, I don't see Mary. I've

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: read this this this morning on social media, and it's true.

78
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: America is so great that even the people that hate it,

79
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: hate America, won't leave. That's how great America is. The

80
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: people who claim to hate it leads. Uh, this is

81
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: this is still the greatest snakes on our still a

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: place where you can make dreams come true. And uh,

83
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's just the way it is. The

84
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: proof is, like they say, the proof is in the

85
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: Putt indeed it is. And like I mentioned before, viral

86
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: video after viral video, you really arrived on the national

87
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: scene for a lot of people in two thousand and eighteen, UM,

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: and it was because of a viral video of you

89
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: defending gun rights in the second Amendment of the meeting

90
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: at the Greensboro City Council And that got you noticed.

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: And from what I understand from watching the interview with

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: you and Governor Mike Huckleby, UM, it got over two

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: hundred million views, he said, I mean from there, I

94
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: mean you talked about what people told you you could

95
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: do in terms of creating a brand for yourself and

96
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: making a lot of money because you're this you know,

97
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: this fresh star before millions of people, but you chose

98
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: to serve instead. And what got you into politics. I've

99
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: been politically aware, what I call politically aware for many

100
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: many years. That started way back and uh the mid nineties,

101
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: I guess. Uh. I had a friend who uh challenged

102
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: me to think better and uh, you know, to do

103
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: my own research. And I did that and once I did,

104
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: I found out that I was a conservative and I

105
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: always had been a conservative. And then I started looking

106
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: at the two parties, the Republican Party Democratic Party, and

107
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: learning about the differences between the platforms and the differences

108
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: between the histories of the two parties, and of course

109
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I logically fell on the on the right hand side

110
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. And uh so i'd like to

111
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: tell folks, you know, uh uh, being involved in politics

112
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: is not it's not really well, you have you have

113
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: an option, but here are the options. You can make

114
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: the determination of how you're governing and who governed you

115
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: or somebody else can make that determination. And somebody else

116
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: is making that determination, it's probably not going to turn

117
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: out good for you. The founders made this country so

118
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: that the people could decide who who it is that

119
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: would govern them. And when we don't take that responsibility

120
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: series we end up with people who don't have our

121
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: best interests at hard. We need to make sure that

122
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: we we take it serious and politics needs to be

123
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: something we all need to be involved. And that's like

124
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: I said that about involved, absolutely, And I love your

125
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: story reminds me of my own, which I talked about

126
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: my book Taking for Granted. I love to send you

127
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: a copy of that. But yeah, just learning the distinctions

128
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: between the parties and realizing that oftentimes, especially as black conservatives.

129
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you're experiencing upbringing was, but mine

130
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: on the South Side of Chicago. I realized quickly after

131
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: our research the two party systems in the history that

132
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: we largely have been lied to about the Republican Party

133
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: and the history Democrats have did such a brilliant marketing

134
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: job to make people think that the Republican Party was

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: just a racist party. They created slavery, Jim Crown, all

136
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: these other things, and to find out none of that

137
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: was true was actually the Democratic Party was pretty astounding

138
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: to me and made me really, uh question the people

139
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: that were around me. Did you have the same experience, Yeah, well, uh, honestly, yeah.

140
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when you really look at the

141
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: stories and you just you're just blown away by how

142
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: much misinformation there is out there. You know, Uh, just

143
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: one small thing you could take out of that you

144
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: take a look at, uh, or something like the epithet

145
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: that's thrown Uncle Tom. People throw that as an epithet

146
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: and then and and many of the people that use

147
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: that word don't have a clue is that where it

148
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: came from. They don't understand anything about who the character

149
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Uncle Tom was in the book and what he did,

150
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: and they don't they don't understand it all the Uncle

151
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: Tom with somebody who sacrificed his life because he refused

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: to turn away, to turn turn over to runaway girls

153
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: would run away from the horrible master Simon legree. They

154
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: don't have a clue that in that book that he

155
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: was beaten to death by two other black slaves who

156
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: would do anything to it, including beating a good man

157
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: to death at the behalf of Simon mcgree. The evil

158
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: matter when you read that book and you understand that book,

159
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: it's one of the books that opened my eyes up

160
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: more than anything about what you just said about how

161
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and the leftists have turned this entire

162
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: thing around. You can see a micro calls him of

163
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: all their lives and coming to understand what that book

164
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: and that name represents. And that's just one example of

165
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the way that that folks have been lied to and

166
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: this whole thing has been turned upside down. Only say

167
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: it and and of course we're talking about from a

168
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: historic perspective, but those lives continue today. And I want

169
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: to play this audio for you that a majority with

170
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: James Clapporn was just on MSNBC, and he was talking

171
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: about the funded police movement, which we know a lot

172
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: of progressives folks just generally on the left said was

173
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: the best way in terms of creating uh more fairness

174
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and equality when it comes to policing in America, and um,

175
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: what they believe is that the best route forward. If

176
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: you would just take a listen, I want to get

177
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: your response. On the other side, defunded police is a

178
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: non start, even the black people. And if you don't

179
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: think that's true, then look at the results of what

180
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: just happened in York sitting this election. So the proof

181
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: is in the pudding. I know what I'm talking about.

182
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I talked to people every day and defund the police.

183
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Is it cool around the Democratic Party? What do you

184
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,359
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? From the majority with Clyburn,

185
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: it just goes to show you how ludicrous the statement

186
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: is defunded police. You know, even if this guy, a

187
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: progressive Democrat, is saying it's hard for you know, it's again.

188
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: You know, I've told some ideas, uh everything that the

189
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: left has it counted. They've cut counted climate change. All

190
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: the predictions they've made about climate change have not come true.

191
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: They they are now their their accounting critical race theory.

192
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: We know those things are not true. There now they

193
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: now counted defunding the police. We see the horrible effects

194
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: of that. Everything that they tell it's almost like a

195
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: collection of I told you so. We conservatives were screaming

196
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: from the raptors. If we contained this anti police rhetoric,

197
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: we're gonna see crime go through the route. It's gonna

198
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: go through the roof. And what has happened. Crime has

199
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: gone through the roof. So you know, Uh, it's it's no.

200
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: It's actually shocking to hear him say that. Uh, admit

201
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: that in public, but he's absolutely right. It's just it

202
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: is one of the dumbest things, uh, one of the

203
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: top five dumbest things I think there's ever been proposed, uh,

204
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: in in my lifetime and possibly in the history of

205
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: this nation. We're talking to Mark Robinson and Lieutenant Governor

206
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: of North Carolina and rising superstar within the GOK. We've

207
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: got much more with him right after a quick break.

208
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting to me, and I gotta tell you,

209
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be just straight up honest with you. There's

210
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, obviously a lot of figures and figures in

211
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: are in the Republican Party, but you, in my opinion,

212
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: you and Rhon de Santa's are the most exciting two

213
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: people in the Republican Party, and I think have the

214
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: most rolls, robust opportunity for the party. I listened to

215
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: speeches of yours and it sounds like a Baptist preacher.

216
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you, I think that the words

217
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: in which you use, in the way in which you

218
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: disseminate your message is one in which would resonate with

219
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: all coalitions, all constituencies, black folks, white folks, expanding folks, whatever.

220
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: You're just a truth teller. Why do you think your

221
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: stars is rised so quickly in the in the GOP

222
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: and national and nationally it's a matter of people have

223
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: been hungry for somebody to stand up and just tell

224
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: the truth. And too many people are afraid to stand

225
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: up and tell the truth. Know we we see it

226
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: all the time. We see folks that you know you

227
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: you know what's right. You don't people know exactly what's right.

228
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: Then you have a room full of people sitting there

229
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: in in a in a collect why it would be

230
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: a school board, whether it be a city council, whether

231
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: it be Congress, and everybody in the room will know

232
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: what the right thing to do is, and nobody will

233
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: stand up and do the right thing. That's what we

234
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: need in this country. We need people that are unafraid

235
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: to stand up and just tell the truth. And sometimes, yeah,

236
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: the truth hurts and the truth sounds ugly, but sometimes

237
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: just needs to be told. And that's what people want

238
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: to hear. They want to hear somebody tell the truth. Now,

239
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I've told people several times, you know that my my

240
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: goal is not to get elected in any office. That's

241
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: not the ultenate goal. Ulten and goals to leave people

242
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: with the truth and let people here here the truth.

243
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: And if they don't want to, they want to reject

244
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: the truth hunts, and so be it, so be it

245
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: reject the truth. But that's that's that's gonna that's gonna

246
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: be what I'm gonna tell people all the time, and

247
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: that it turns out that that's what the majority of

248
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: people out there they want to hear, soolutely it is. Now,

249
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: you're lieutenant governor. Now in North Carolina, the governor is

250
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: a Democrat. You're well respected. Now tell me what what

251
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: what why did you choose to run for Lieutenant governor. Well, uh,

252
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: we looked at running a lot of officers, a lot

253
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: of different officers, and when we looked at this office

254
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: in particular, we thought it was you know, it suited

255
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: our skill set just right. What the job entails uh

256
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: uh you know a lot of what this job entails

257
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: is having what they call a bully pull pit to

258
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: be able to push, uh, push back against things and

259
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: push for things that you uh, that you stand for.

260
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: And we said, hey, you know, we're pretty good at that.

261
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: I think we'll we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll try to step

262
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: into this role. And so far we've done well at it.

263
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: Uh and we uh, we're gonna continue to try to

264
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: do well at because you know, the states it's doing

265
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: well right now, doing very good. But I believe this

266
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: state can do a whole lot better in the future.

267
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: But I think what it's gonna take to do a

268
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: whole lot better in the future is to continue with

269
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: the conservative prince will that have gotten us to this point.

270
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: And uh so we decided to get in there and

271
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: help these conservatives here in North Carolina. They helped fight

272
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: to make this state even better. Yeah. Absolutely, Now I

273
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: tell you people don't just love you, they're genuinely excited

274
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: about your political future. So with that being said, what

275
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: is your future in the GOP? Do you have any

276
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: aspirations beyond lieutenant governor at this point? Well, we're sitting

277
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: down with our folks and we're talking about what we

278
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: think the next step is the best step, next best

279
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: step will be. We have to determined that yet, But

280
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: as soon as we do, we're gonna let the people

281
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: know and we're gonna try to rally wherever it is

282
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: we need a rally to get to that point. Uh.

283
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: But we like said, we have not made that decision

284
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: firmly yet, but we will here pretty soon. Okay, so

285
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: not firmly. But I have to ask, and I'm sure

286
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people are asking you this question, what

287
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: about if not the top job that being president, would

288
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: consider being someone's running mate if they asked you, maybe

289
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: round the sentence if he was to choose to run, Well,

290
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, right now, nothing is off the table. What

291
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: I want to do is I want to go to

292
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: a place where we can be the most effective for

293
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: the causes that we believe in. And if that should

294
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: happen to be, no matter what that that where that

295
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: place might be. We're all for something of that, of

296
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: that nature. We would evaluate it and we would feel

297
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: like that, Uh, it was good with me and good

298
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: with my family and good with God. We go that direction.

299
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: But what we want to do is find out a

300
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: place where we're gonna be absolute most effective. Absolutely, And

301
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: I can appreciate that. And I'm glad that you're thinking

302
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: about that because there's a lot of folks. I'm sure

303
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: we put a lot of a lot of time and

304
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: energy behind your candidacy, with with whatever role you may choose,

305
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: I want to switch gears and move the President Biden.

306
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: You said last month that President biden Is administration are

307
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: turning America into a socialist hell whole, and you urge

308
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: fellow Republicans to run to the trouble. What did you

309
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: mean by that? Uh, don't arn away from it. Don't

310
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: run away from it, run to it. There's trouble. There's

311
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, we have we have uh, we have enemy.

312
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: We have enemy inside our camp. We have a we

313
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: have an enemy that's no longer outside the gate. They

314
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: are inside the wire. They are actively working against this nation.

315
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: I believe to bring this nation down, to bring what

316
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: Barack Obama calls UH fundamental change to our to our

317
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: system of government, and to our way of life. We

318
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: have to actively go to those people and confront those

319
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: people and confront that problem. We have to work to

320
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: make sure we get those people out of office, and

321
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: we have to work to make sure we get people

322
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: in offices that are gonna have this country's best interests

323
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: at our i e. Making sure that capitalism, our constitution,

324
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: and all the good things that come from and continue

325
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: to stand in this nation. So we need to confront

326
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: it headlong. We do not need to be afraid this

327
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: whole thing is shrinking away and hoping that somebody else

328
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: to do it. That time is over. We gotta step

329
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: up it. We gotta take this calls on them. We

330
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: gotta be the want to do them. Mark, I absolutely

331
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: agree with you. Let's dig into that further after a break.

332
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts of the current Republican Party, Because

333
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, you know, Democrats, Uh, in spite of

334
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: their failings and all this other stuff in the policy.

335
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: We can talk about the cultural wars, we can talk

336
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: about any number of things. They seem to be kind

337
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: of tough in a way that they all lie cheat steal,

338
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, and they'll look you in their face

339
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: and say, oh, no, Republicans want to defund the police,

340
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: not us. Like it's like, no, Republicans were the party

341
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: of slavery, not us. No, like they would say all

342
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: these different things, which they just said something three months

343
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: ago or maybe even the day before. They don't have

344
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: a problem doing any of those things. And we got

345
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: some Republicans. I think back to the Hunter Biden situation.

346
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden using an inn word. We see what happened

347
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: with um the congressman when he said something about white

348
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: supremacy to the New York Times, when the white supremacy

349
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: become a bad thing, nationalism or something like that he said. Anyway,

350
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: they stripped him of his comedian assignments, essentially put him

351
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: out the party. Hunter Biden. You know, no no comments

352
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: from the White House, no comments from any Democratic leader.

353
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: You see Sheldon white House, the senator, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

354
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 1: belonging to a quote, as it was reported, all white

355
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: social club, but white only. That's what it was called,

356
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: a white only social club. And they won't say anything

357
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: about it. But you know, Republicans, we gotta be do

358
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: the right thing. Put folks out the party, and you know,

359
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: they can do and say whatever they want. What is

360
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: the party need to do? And that's right, the right

361
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: thing to do. Let me comment on that. But what

362
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: is it that the Republican Party needs to do in

363
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: this day and time when you've got so many lives

364
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: coming from the left and also the liberal media who

365
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: perpetrate those same lives. They have to be bold and

366
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: telling the truth, just like President Trump was President Trump

367
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: over Frank Stamp to tell the truth. That's why people love.

368
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: There are too many folks who, uh say, well, you know,

369
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: we shouldn't say that because that will have the wrong

370
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: kind of tone. Look, how do you call somebody a liar?

371
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,239
Speaker 1: If they're somebody is a proven liar. The only way

372
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: to call that person a liar effectively is to say, hey,

373
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: you're a liar. You know, if somebody is a proven

374
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: bigger and has proven it time and time again that

375
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: they would have said bigger at things, and if push

376
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: bigger at policy, how do you call that person the biggert?

377
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: You say, hey, this person is a biggert who pushed

378
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: bigger at policies. It's time for for for conservatives to

379
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: stop being timid with the truth. I say it like this,

380
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: we gotta be as bold with the truth as they

381
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: are with their lives, and often times we are not.

382
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: We've kept to around things, and we don't want to attack.

383
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: We don't want to punch, and be quite frankly, we

384
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: don't want to kick. Sometimes we need to do all

385
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: all of that and more because there are people out

386
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: there right now are doing things that are absolutely egregious.

387
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: These people out of here to the pushing CRT and

388
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: pushing these on the police. And I've already openly claimed

389
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: to be so, and already openly proudly for claim to

390
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: be socialists and tell us that they want to change

391
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: the minds of our children, and tell us they want

392
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: to bring the country down. We need to fight those

393
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: folks with everything that we have, and those people that

394
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: are not doing it should be ashamed themselves. I can

395
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: agree with that. I appreciate that sentiment, and and thank

396
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: you for mentioning CRT also known as critical race theory

397
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: for those who may not know, I want to ask

398
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: you another question about a statement you made last month.

399
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: You said the following, the government cannot give the American dream,

400
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: but the government will give you as false hope, and

401
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: that will give you a nightmare. The American dream only

402
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: comes through hard work, stead fastness, and standing up and

403
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: controlling your own destiny, not allowing the government to do that,

404
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: but doing it yourself. I agree with that message wholeheartedly.

405
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: What can be done to push more Black Americans to

406
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: fully embrace this message and stop voting for the big

407
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: government Democrats and start voting for conservatives. Of things we

408
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: can do is, you know, we could might remind folks

409
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: of their of their history. You know, it's funny when

410
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: things in this nation were at their worst for black people.

411
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Black people were at their best when we were in

412
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: our own neighborhoods. Uh, and we were confining those neighborhoods

413
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: by segregation. When we were on our own schools and

414
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: we were confined to those schools by segregation. Uh. We

415
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: had uh homes with two two parents. We had uh doctors, lawyers. Uh.

416
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: We had we were building schools, we were building we

417
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: built churches, we built whole communities. Uh. Those trends started

418
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: to change once we turned our power over to the

419
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: federal government and start believing that the federal government was

420
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: in control of our destiny, our fortunes started to change

421
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: the single parenthood start going through the roof. UH, Crime

422
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: in our neighborhoods start going through the roof, Our education

423
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: numbers start dropping dramatically. UH. In order to get those

424
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: things back, we've got to understand that we are not

425
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: to rely on the federal government. We are to rely

426
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: on each other, on our families, on our communities. Sure,

427
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: the federal government has a role to play because they

428
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: set they set the rules, they make the rules, so

429
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: to speak, and they're supposed to be the guardians of

430
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: our constitution to keep our freedoms. But the real question

431
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: is not what the federal government will do for you,

432
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: is what will you do with the rights that you have.

433
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: That's the real question, and that's what we've got to

434
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: get back to, not even what you can do for

435
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: your country, really because we want to do it for

436
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: our country. But I believe that the best thing that

437
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: you can do for this country, the best thing you

438
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: can do for this country, the best thing you can

439
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: do for your state, your your your your city, and

440
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: your neighborhood and your family, is by understanding that you

441
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: have to do what's right with your You have to

442
00:22:55,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: do what's right with your rights, and if you do that, Uh,

443
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: I think that we get folks to to really believe

444
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: in that, do that. I think that's how we get

445
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: back to that good place we were wanting. Now, before

446
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: I let you go and thank you for that, for

447
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: sharing that with me or with us, rather before I

448
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: let you go, I know you're you're a man of faith.

449
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: You've been vocal about it. I want to ask you

450
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: just two questions. Here's a two part question. I want

451
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: to know what role does your faith playing your life

452
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: and in your politics? And does it concern you that

453
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: it seems to be that our country is becoming increasingly

454
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: secular and outright hostile to faith. Well, you know, you know, wisdom,

455
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: Wisdom comes from from from faith. Wisdom comes from God.

456
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: Where where there's no God, there's no real wisdom. That's

457
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: bottom line. Where there is no God, there's no wisdom.

458
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Because the very first step in in in in wisdom

459
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: is having a fear of God. That's the very first

460
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: that's the very first step in with So where there

461
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: is no there's old faith in God, there's no wisdom.

462
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: And I'm convinced to that you can see it in

463
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: the chaos. Has been bread in our school system that

464
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: has pushed God out of the public square, which leads

465
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: me to the second part that the more we continue

466
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: to push God, in the principles of God, out of

467
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: the public square, out of politics, out of education, out

468
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: of mass media, out of out of all of our businesses,

469
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: we're just gonna see more and more chaos. Never in

470
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: my lifetime, but I would have thought that human beings

471
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: would be confused about whether or not somebody's a man

472
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: or woman. But here we are, and while we're there,

473
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: we're there because people simply refuse to acknowledge God's creation,

474
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: simple creations. There are men and there are women, and

475
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: people refuse to acknowledge that. And because of that, we're

476
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: now living in the age of chaos right again. Well,

477
